Well dear friend now to tell you a little how we or I pass the long dreary days away I am at present working on a farm I have been hear just over a year and I am always working with the Gardener, I knew quite a bit about gardening before I came here and what I have learnt since may help me in years to come, I have often thought of going to B.C. and trying a small market garden farm, and the weather you have in B.C. is so much nicer than we have in Sask. We are having some very nice weather here just at present but I expect we shall have to suffer for it later on, we are sure to get some very rough weather this or next month, anyway we are living in hopes of peace coming this year, what a wonderful thing hope is. Yes I like the work I am now doing better than the last working party I was on
